Product Details

The Gates PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit W/Water Pump is built around the timing belt service interval on Subaru Forester interference engines. Gates combines the belt, hydraulic tensioner, three idlers, and water pump so the major wear items in the timing drive are addressed together. The kit also includes sealing components and service aids to support a complete repair. Part number TCKWP304C is a practical choice when replacing the timing belt and water pump at the same time on 2002 Subaru Forester and 2003-2005 Subaru Forester models.

This part cross-references Continental PP304LK4 and Dayco WP304K1B for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Timing belt wear, cracking, or age-related deterioration
• Hydraulic tensioner noise or loss of tension control
• Idler pulley bearing wear or rough operation
• Water pump leakage or coolant seepage at the timing cover area
• Service overlap when multiple timing components need replacement together

Installation Notes

Use the included instructions and installation tool during service. Follow factory timing marks and verify belt alignment before engine start-up. Because this application uses an interference engine, correct installation and final timing verification are critical. Replace the water pump during timing belt service to reduce repeat labor on the same repair.

Quality Assurance

Gates positions this PowerGrip Premium OE kit as an OE-improved timing system repair solution for Subaru Forester service. The kit is assembled to address the primary wear components in the timing drive and water pump circuit in one package.
